Hey guys, now that the MAC line has flown the coop, why not get a better line, from a better company? If any of you guys are familiar with Palisades, it could be that "better company", but it will need your support. If you guys want to see a better figure line, sign here:http://www.petitiononline.com/Futurfig/petition.html

As you can see, we could use a bit more support. So again, if you want kick-ass figures, look no further than here!

No, it's not an advertisement. He posted a link to Palisades Toys message board. Palisades makes really nice toys. They actively participate in their message board to get input from fans which is great. Palisades recently got a license to make toys for Adult Swim's Williams Street shows (Brak Show, ATHF, Sealab, etc.) It doesn't include Futurama which would have to be a seperate license. I think Poonchy's Bro here is trying to put a bug in Palisades ear that they should look into Futurama. If they made Futurama figures, they'd be sweet!

I thought I read a post from a moderator over there who said they looked into the Futurama license, but it was too expensive. There's no harm in asking them to look again.

I doubt the license has gotten any cheaper since the show went off the air. They are still generating revenues from DVD sales as well as through syndication so at least for Fox Futurama is a viable commodity.Palisades would be a wonderful choice to do Futurama figures. They have really had a good history of late of turning out quality product with licenses that collectors enjoy. Their Muppets figures are some of the best I have seen of any product line and it appears that the company are not only business minded people but fans and collector's themselves.You can put a vote in for me of yes that I would love for Palisades to make Futurama figures!RM

I forget who made the Simpsons figure line, but that would perhaps be the best company to restart a Futurama line. After all, The Simpsons line proved that it's possible to maintain a figure-output for a series with a high cast list (which Futurama does have.)

However, and I do fear this, I'm not sure if Futurama has a high enough fanbase to warrant making a new line. The Simpsons did, but whenever I go into a giftstore/store that sells "collectables," there are tons of unwanted McFarlane or Muppet figures that are just sitting on the shelf. I hate to see that happen to Futurama.

I too wonder if there is a big enough fanbase to support a new Futurama line, but I think there might be enough to give it a try. I'd love to see it, especially from Palisades.

I think Palisades Muppet figures must do pretty well as there have been plenty of waves and they've been producing them for a while now. I think Palisades stuff tends to appeal more to harcore type collectors. I'm guessing these people tend to buy them all at once through online retailers. That's what I used to do with the Simpsons figures. It's usually cheaper even with the shipping and you don't have to run to different stores to get all the figures. That may be why you see them sitting around in regular stores. Plus, there's always a "peg warmer" in each series that's less popular and those tend to sit around. I don't know that this necesarrily means the line as a whole is a poor seller.

Plus, as a bonus pack-in (like the Logs that come with the R&S figures, or the playsets that come with the Zim figures) everybody can come with a celeb head in a jar, like Leonard Nimoy, Dick Clark, the Beastie Boys, Conan O' Brian, Pamela Anderson, Lucy Liu, Al Gore, Richard Nixon, Matt Groening, Bob Barker, Claudia Schiffer, Ron Popeil, William Shatner, Jonathan Frakes, George Takei, Donovan, and so on and so forth.

Well, I assume that if said celebrities voiced themselves on the show, there shouldn't be a problem with merchandising them. After all, they could have already sold temporary likeness rights to the show, on the off chance something like this would happen.

Wave 2-Farnsworth with "What If" machine, Gunter, Fing-longer, and box containing alternate dimension.-Zapp Brannigan with laser, "sham-pag-an", and one of them ball-like aliens from "War is the H-word"-Mom with fat suit and can of Robot Oil-Amy with hoverboard, and the Lovey Bears from Romanticorp.

Also, I know that we probably won't get a talking line like the Simpsons, but if we do, here's some ideas for some lines.

Fry:"It's the future. My parents, my co-workers, my girlfriend - I'll never see any of them ever again... YAHOO!"My God, he's become evil! I mean eviler...""It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also, he got a race car! Is any of this getting through to you?""I’ll be a science fiction hero! Just like Uhura or Captain Janeway or Xena!"“Man, I thought Ultimate Robot Fighting was real - like pro-wrestling - but it turns out it’s fixed, like boxing.”“Things are different this time. Before she was demanding and possessive, but now she wants me to do stuff and stay with her all the time.” “Eww, it's like there’s a party in my mouth and everyone is throwing up!” “You know the worst thing about being a slave? They make you work but they don't pay you or let you go...”"Should superheroes commit a crime? Even to save lives? I need moral guidance. Bender?!" "Did everything just taste purple for a second?""Why am I sticky and naked? Did I miss something fun?""I want my nose! I don't wanna have to teach a new one to shoot milk when I laugh.""Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.""That's the saltiest thing I ever tasted, and I once ate a big heaping bowl of salt.""No, Professor, don't give up. There were plenty of times in my century when I was going to give up, but I never did, never. Hey, are you even listening to me? Oh, I give up." "Every Christmas my Mom would get a fresh goose, for gooseburgers, and my Dad would whip up his special eggnog out of bourbon and ice cubes.""Good ol' Coney Island College. Go WhiteFish.""I'm never gonna get used to the 31st century. Caffineated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? ADMIRAL Crunch?""If you rule out every guy with a lizard tongue or a low IQ or an explosive violent temper, of course you're going to be lonely."" I hope Satan has a nice colon, 'cause that's where you're gonna be living."

Bender:"Oh, no room for Bender huh? Fine, I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers. In fact forget the lunar lander and the blackjack..."You know Fry, of all the friends I've had, you're the first." "If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna pop over to the casino for the next 135 hours..."“What an awful dream! Ones and zeroes everywhere! Eww, and I thought I saw a two!”“Computer dating. It's like pimping, but you rarely have to use the phrase upside your head.”“In the event of an emergency, my ass can be used as a floatation device.”“Blackmail's such an ugly word, I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool.”“These balls are making me testy…” “Grab a shovel, I'm only one skull short of a Mouseketeer reunion.”“It's time to kick some shiny metal ass!” “What is it with you kids? Every other day it's food, food, food!”“When will man learn that all races are equally inferior to robots?”“That’s no flying saucer, that’s my ass!” “Who would have known playing God could have such terrible consequences?”“Today, I've personalised each of your meals. For example, Amy, you're cute. So I've baked you a pony.”"In order for me to get busy at maximum efficiency, I need a girl with a big 400 tonne booty.""Another classic science fiction show cancelled before its time.""Behold my hand-crafted purity. The modern world can bite by splintery wooden ass!""I hate people who love me. And they hate me.""Bite my shiny metal ass!""Don't worry, Leela - soon we'll be able to look on this and laugh." *laughs*"Let's face it, comedy is a dead art form. Now tragedy, ha ha ha, that's funny." "Leela, save me. And yourself I guess... and my banjo... and Fry.""Hey. What kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker.""Not enough room? My place is 2 cubic meters and we only take up 1.5 cubic meters. We've got room for a whole nother 2/3rds of a person.""This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me."

Zapp Brannigan:"Brannigan's law is like Brannigan's love - hard and fast.“Prepare to continue the epic struggle between good and neutral.”“I am the man with no name! Zapp Brannigan, at your service.” "Cham-paggin?""You look like a woman who appreciates the finer things in life. Come over here and feel my velour bedspread.""Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men.""But as a gentleman, I must warn you, if you so much as glance at another woman, I'll be on Leela like a fly on a pile of very seductive manure.""It was almost the perfect crime, but you forgot the one thing: rock crushes scissors. But paper covers rock. And scissors cuts paper. Kif, we have a conundrum.""Leela, you may be a formidable do-er of the nasty, but I'm forced to relieve you of your post." "You know, boys, a good captain needs abilities like boldness, daring and a good velour uniform, and I'm not convinced Leela has ANY of those things.""Here's to us poor schmoes, working for the man. Even if he is a hot, sexy female man.""Mmm... Welcome to my humble chamber or as I call it, "The Lovenasium".""We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? Kif, I'm asking you a question."

Zoidberg:"That stench, that heavenly stench!"“It’s funny because it’s poisonous.”“Wucka wucka wucka wucka – mmm, just like stale marshmallows!”“A-ha! Once again the conservative sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.”"I'm swelling with patriotic mucus!""As the candy hearts poured into the fiery quasar a wondrous thing happened, why not. They vaporized into a mystical love radiation that spread across the universe destroying many, many planets, including two gangster planets and a cowboy world. But one planet was exactly the right distance to see the romantic rays but not be destroyed by them: Earth. So all over the world couples stood together in joy. And me, Zoidberg. And no one could have been happier unless it would have also been Valentine's Day. What? It was? Hooray!"

Farnsworth:You young Turks think you know everything! I was inventing things when you were barely turning senile."If only he had joined a mainstream religion, like Oprahism or Voodoo."Oh, I always feared he may run off like this. Why, why, why didn’t I break his legs?" “And so we say goodbye to our beloved pet, Nibbler, who's gone to a place where I too hope one day to go - the toilet.”“The tanker has 6000 hulls, so, unlike me, it's entirely leak-proof.”The fountain of ageing?

Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.""Ah, to be young again... and also a robot.""Thank God there were plenty of escape pods. We won't have to dress up like women and children.""What? After I spent MONTHS slaving over a hot monkey brain?"

Leela:“If you could change form, why didn't you change it in the one place that counts?” “Well, it's a type M planet, so it should at least have Roddenberries.”“Wipe out all thought? My God, they're like flying televisions!”“Fry, please try to understand. You're a man, I'm a woman - we're just too different.”"I usually try to keep my sadness pent up inside, where it can fester quietly as a mental illness.""Fry, it's been three days - you can't keep boogieing like this. You'll come down with a fever of some sort.""They planted traditional college foliage: ivy, trees, hemp...""Cheating in a fake fight. That's low.""Leave him alone. It's not his fault that he's an unstoppable killing machine.""Its some kind of hollow tube, devoid of human life. "gasps* The Los Angeles Subway."

Hermes:“Up yours, Zoidberg! Up wherever your species traditionally crams things.” “Sweet someone of... someplace!” “You ruined us with sleazy business practices and a complete disregard for human decency. Of course we are proud of you!”“Kudos Bender. You got mangled and now you're a singer - both our dreams came true!” "I don't want you to worry about your jobs while you're away.
